Today turned into another excruciatingly long day. We figured it would be 28 miles. But we got on a wrong trail and wasted the first two miles. But the good thing about that is that we ran into Ivana, from Croatia who had made the same mistake. So we walked many hours with her. We both had very sore feet when we finally stumbled into Melide. But we had a great spaghetti dinner and drank enough wine that I had some trouble remaining in the standing position while taking a shower at the albergue in Melide.
The trail was really too long for one day, at 32 miles. But we really had no choice because every place I called was full. We were lucky to find an albergue in Melide that actually took reservations. So we're sharing with 6 other people but I suspect I'll be asleep about two minutes after my head hits the pillow. We have a short day tomorrow and another the next day. Then we will reach Santiago.
So far the trip has been wonderful, sore feet and all.
